Frazier, who still has three years remaining on a $440,000 a season contract, too happy that he had to learn of the trade through the press instead of direct contact by the Knicks. He found some solace in the fact Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson were informed of their being traded away in the same manner. 10 years in one place, it still hit me that no longer a Knick.

The other major addition to the Hawks roster tliis season is 20-year- old Jean Savard, who scored 180 points last season playing junior ey for Quebec.

The young center was second in scoring during the preseason. Ivan Boldirev, last leading Hawk scorer, topped the season list with six goats and two assists for eight points. Savard had two goals and four assists for six points. Darcy Rota, Stan Mikita and Kelly were tied with five points apiece. Holt led all defensemen with four points.

PULFORD PROMISED to strengthen the defense this season, but the preseason record was disappointing in that category. In seven games the Hawks allowed 29 goals for a 4.1 per game average. Although earlier in the preseason Pulford traded goaltending chores between Esposito and Mike Veisor, he apparently will go nearly entirely with Esposito during the regular season. Esposito averaged 3.45 goals allowed last season.
